A Cooler Head Prevails

Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist's Guide to Global Warming

by Bjørn Lomborg

Alfred A. Knopf

September 2007, 272 pages, $21.00

[21 February 2008]

by Michael Antman

A humane and practical corrective to an argument that has grown far too overheated, Cool It is a breath of fresh air that needs to be read by everyone who fears for the future of our world.

Normally, any book that starts out with the proclamation that Man-Made Global Warming is fact (as though the very idea of taking a global temperature was anything less than absurd) would end up helping to deplete the ozone as I use it for kindling. However, I may be able to hold my nose through that part and finish this one. The guy, at least, seems to be relatively reasonable as he builds on his bullsh!t premise.
